Eleven days ago a ligament in his left knee sprained, and a certain kind of Kansas fan may have gone defeatism. Udoka Azubuike is not the team's best player, but there is a case to be made that he's its most important after Devonte Graham. And Kansas had seen this movie before.
What could've been if Joel Embiid was healthy in 2014?
Or if Cliff Alexander had been able to play in 2015?
Azubuike took his name off the list by providing 22 critical minutes in Kansas' 83-79 win over Seton Hall here on Saturday, earning a spot in the Sweet 16 in Omaha next week.
